Mike Morris<p>I follow quite a lot of the <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/toolsForThought" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>toolsForThought</span></a> / <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/toolsForCollaboration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>toolsForCollaboration</span></a> space, and it never ceases to amaze/baffle/puzzle me how many of the tools in that space are Apple-only. How the fuck do you expect to collaborate with people who don't live in the Apple Walled Garden if your tools are MacOS only?</p>
